HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
Today marks the day of love, the day where people not just couples come together to show their love.
On the behalf of Filii, we would like to extend some love to you. And do extend this love to someone else too! Show love to someone today. (:

"Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love." - Mother Teresa.

One of the most blessed thing we set ourselves to do before our respective reunion dinners on Chinese New Year Eve was to make an impromptu trip down to bright and cheery Chinatown and distribute mandarin oranges and ang baos containing dollar bills and Chinese New Year greetings to the elderly folks there. The experience was phenomenal. To see the joy on the elderly folks' faces, indescribable.

We were met with cheery elderly folks some of whom were extravagant in their blessing us as though we were their children. While we were there to bless, we had been so blessed by the elderly folks as well.

We would like to thank our friends who heard about what we were doing and provided extra finances for us to distribute more oranges and give more ang baos. In total we distributed 189 oranges, 86 ang baos and handwritten CNY greetings to close to 100 elderly folks.

From the both of us, thank you.

Eugene, Filii.

What started as an impromptu idea to give away mandarin oranges to elderly folks became so much bigger. We just want to say a big THANK YOU to the NUS students who heard about what we were doing and gave to bless the elderly and Chinese National workers. And blessed they were.

"Happiness is multiplied when we share it around." How true. We ourselves were so, so blessed by this giving. In total we gave away 189 oranges and 86 ang baos and handwritten CNY greetings to close to a hundred happy elderly folks and Chinese national workers at Chinatown! The joy on their faces were indescribable.

Here we are, preparing angbaos to give away on a bright, beautiful CNY Eve!
